The sure way of finding awesome stuff in the jungle at night is to not bring your DSLR. Proven time and again to be true! Smith's (Green-eyed) Gecko / Large Forest Gecko (Gekko smithii) in Gekko Roman Wrestling mode. Taken with my Redmi Note 2 smartphone.

Love the pictures; but, was surprised you said "don't take your DSLR". Where all of these taken with your smart device?

Well captured series!!

A wonderful series! Your 'house centipedes' would cause some consternation in the houses around here, I am sure.
All amazing shots, for me the Anglehead Lizard takes the ticket.
Extraordinary!!!(As usual!)
Lovely creatures and great photos Thankyou
